I've never done a review before, but thought since I picked up the new VAMP with the Steel Brigade Delta, I'd share pics of the figure and throw in a few opinions.
The body below the neck is the same as the Cobra Shock Trooper, cast in a drab green with gray details and highlights. The head inside the helmet appears to be a new Snake Eyes-esque head cast in light gray. No paint details whatsoever. As far as accessories go, it has the same tactical vest as the POC Beachhead, but this time two knives to go with both sheaths. The rifle is the same seen with the Pit Trooper from ROC. One of the most interesting parts of the entire figure is the new helmet. It's painted with several different colors and has an interesting design that reminds me of MASK figures. Lots of customizing potential, I'm sure. A nice feature that's included is that this figure has his own stand with name printed on it. Overall, the figure's paint and color scheme doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the Steel Brigade, but makes for more of a "space marine in the jungle" feeling. A little drab when compared to single-carded figures, but overall one of the better vehicle drivers we've seen in a while. I'd give this figure a 7/10 rating. Could be better but could be a lot worse. If you don't have the VAMP from the previous POC offering, go out and get this set. I found mine at Walmart for $19.98, which is a great bargain considering everything you're getting. |

This fig is awesome. Can't wait till the Vamp hits discount stores to buy it just for this guy.

Yeah, I don't want the vamp, I just want this figure! Nice review! Thank you for the pics. Based on the pics alone, I'd give it a 8/10, but I'd have to have it in my hands to see it before I'd give it any higher, although it seems to me to have the potential to be a 10. I really like this figure. Was the vamp the same as the first one?

IDK, I'm kinda diggin that head. But I'd probably use it for a custom and just change out the Steel Brigade's head with a generic covered head. That helmet is awesome. Looks HALO-ish to me.

Figure doesn't even look like it's been painted. Looks like a prototype.
